Brighton vs Spurs: Lloris breaks arm, stretchered out

Hugo Lloris received oxygen and was taken from the pitch on a stretcher after injuring his left arm at Amex Stadium on Saturday.

Tottenham Hotspur captain Hugo Lloris sustained a horrid injury to the arm as he fell trying to block a goal attempt by Brighton and Hove Albion. He couldn't stop the ball from racing into the net. Spurs now trail 2-0.

Tottenham's nightmarish week plunged new depths as Hugo Lloris was taken off on a stretcher with a serious arm injury after gifting away a goal in the third minute against Brighton and Hove Albion. 

The Spurs skipper was left in agony and received oxygen from medical staff following an awkward landing on his left arm in Saturday's Premier League match at Amex Stadium. 

His injury occurred after goalkeeper Lloris caught but then dropped a routine cross from Pascal Gross.

8 - Subbed off after eight minutes against Brighton, Hugo Lloris is the quickest a keeper has been replaced in a Premier League match since the Frenchman himself against Leicester in March 2015 (4 minutes). Misfortune.

Lloris is stretchered out after breaking his arm during the Brighton vs Spurs Premier League game.

He stumbled backwards and attempted to use his arm to cushion his fall, only for it to buckle under his weight. 

Neal Maupay nodded in the loose ball from point-blank range to give Brighton a 1-0 lead and compound Tottenham's misery, Mauricio Pochettino's men having been humiliated in a 7-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday. 

Paulo Gazzaniga was substituted on as Lloris' replacement once the France international was taken from the pitch following several minutes of treatment.
